BRIDGE ODDS FOR PRACTICAL PLAYERS Backing outsiders has ruined many a punter at the bridge table as well as at the race track. Few players have any idea of how to harness the odds to solve the problems that constantly recur. Which is the best line of play? Is it better to finesse or play for the drop? Will diamonds break? Can the chances be combined? What are the exact odds? Here is a simple guide to these situations. Keeping theory to a minimum, the authors show by means of many practical examples how to calculate the odds and how to come up with the right answer time after time at the bridge table. Anyone who learns to apply the principles set out in this book need never again be accused of playing against the odds. The authors could hardly be better qualified for their task. Hugh Kelsey earned a world-wide reputation for accurate bridge analysis and lucid prose, while Michael Glauert, a keen and proficient tournament player, held the first Chair of Mathematics at the University of East Anglia. The reader can therefore be assured of practical bridge advice based on sound mathematical principles. ‘The most useful publication in the last twelve months ... I unhesitatingly award my accolade to Bridge Odds for Practical Players because every player should know the material it contains. This cannot be found elsewhere.’ — The Times
